DIGITAL PRACTICES IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

Abstract

The concept of good agricultural practice has developed due to rapid changes and globalization in agriculture and the food industry. These changes occur as a result of the responsibility and work for the production of healthy and safe food, as well as the implementation of stable and safe sustainable agriculture, taking care to preserve the environment. The practices that are related to the quality of the soil include the maintenance and improvement of its organic ingredients, with the application of appropriate crop rotation and the application of the digital revolution. The digital revolution in agriculture represents the transformation of standard agriculture into digital agriculture through the installation and implementation of digital machines, sensors, systems, application of information and communication technologies. One of the most used technologies in the agricultural industry is the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the automatic monitoring, control and management of devices that contain hardware, software and sensors, which can be controlled remotely using a smart device, and the data obtained from input devices such as sensors can be are recorded in a database for further processing, selection and generation of reports. By applying IoT, a sufficient level of protection of natural resources from pollution and damage is enabled, which, in addition to soil, includes water and air as resources, which will contribute to the reduction of global warming.
